We sought to evaluate the association between the legalization and implementation of MAID across the U.S. and changing suicide rates.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We evaluated state-level monthly suicide death rates from 1995 to 2021. Because suicide rates vary by state, we constructed geographically-weighted regression models controlling for annualized state-level sociodemographic factors, such as racial distribution (percent Caucasian), average age, income levels, unemployment rates, rates of spiritual engagement, firearm ownership rates, gender ratios, and education levels.
